The residents of the Toledo town of Ocaña are up in arms against the City Council after the highest body of the municipality has prohibited any Christmas event in the town's Plaza Mayor. The culprit of this sudden decision by the City Council was a woman, who complained on several occasions about the excessive noise in the square.
For this reason, the neighbors decided to call a protest against this decision next Saturday, November 11. Given the repercussion that this complicated situation is having, the Sonsoles Ónega program decided to give voice this Thursday to both sides of the story. ''He has achieved what seemed impossible, that this year no one eats the grapes there on New Year's Eve,'' declared presenter Sonsoles Ónega.
Reporter Arancha Pérez Ponce went to the town to learn about both versions of the events. The neighbor affected by the noise, María Gómez, assured before the cameras of the program that the only thing they wanted was for the noise to stop after 12 at night, since her house "was constantly rumbling."
For their part, the neighbors remained very indignant with the decision, since not even the Three Wise Men were going to be able to access the square. Furthermore, the representatives of the AMPA assured that this resolution was going to especially harm the local children. ''It's going to be a very bad Christmas. I don't care about the children, it's their illusion,'' declared one of the affected mothers. ''It is a very great joy, this cannot be,'' she added.
Regarding the neighbor's request, the mother confessed that no one understood what was really bothering María Gómez. ''It's been like this all my life,'' she stressed. Another of those affected commented that it was not a matter of the City Council. ''It's up to the people, we don't want the plaza to go out. She talks about decibels but right now we are all bothering here, we don't understand it,' she declared.
The presenter Sonsoles Ónega wanted to know what the City Council's response had been to the neighborhood complaint and they confessed that the mayor had sent them the sentence with the precautionary measures, which ruled that due to the complaints all events in the town had to be suspended. square.
